I have enough demand in my area that as soon as one opens up, I'm able to fill it.

Negotiating with the seller was straightforward, leveraging the property's condition to secure a $50,000 purchase price.

@Jerry ZhangThis is not your ideal seller financing individual.

Central Illinois offers some unique opportunities for creative real estate investing, from seller financing to lease options and more.

LOTS to talk about in Calgary as quality multi-family deals are being snapped up quickly, multiple offers on handyman specials, and parts of the city is experiencing Sellers Market, while the CIty of Calgary has decided to continue their major capital reinvestment projects, so there will be emerging areas soon! 

An "owner's title policy" is purchased (typically) by the seller for benefit of the buyer. 

The seller showed me their Airbnb deposit.

You can write it up in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.I would exhaust all options with the seller before going hard or private money.

@Blaine Alger   Do you feel like now with WFH, there is more demand from people that might normally work in Austin or Dallas that want to live in Waco for better pricing and smaller city feel?  

@Jeremy HartwigYou are missing a lot of important data, such as median income of the area, rent comps in the area, what current values are.You are buying on actuals, but in many markets that have low supply and have a lot of demand, it makes it difficult buy based on actuals.
